Router Advice - Networking USB Hard Drive
Right then,
Not sure if this is the correct forum (it's either here or the hardware one!), but here goes.
I currently have a Belkin wireless router which works fine; however due to a review of storage of media; I now have a USB hard drive full of my CD collection. I note that there are some routers (netgear appears cheapest from Currys/PC World) that enable me to attach the USB drive to it and map it as a network share.
This leaves me with 2 options I believe & would like some advice as to which way to go:
1) Replace existing router with the ADSL model
2) Keep existing router & buy the cheaper "cable" model (& possibly relocate elsewhere in the house as I have a couple of powerline connections)
The latter is tempting as it is cheaper; although I am unsure if I will be able to configure everything to work together? I would hope that I could?
Thanks in advance for any advice
